A touch of gold

So thinking about the Toronto box I got, and given the number of cards, I think I have an idea for it. Given it was such a gift at the price, I think I am going to save it and spend the month of December going through it. I know, that means putting it off a couple months, but with December being the time of giving and the holidays, why not make it a month of Toronto sports cards...as appropriate a time as any I'd say. Anyway, that is where I am leaning on that one, but I reserve the right to change my mind (repeatedly).

Unfortunately one of those days that comes up every now and then in the Santa Lot - not much for my collection. Then again, I guess that does mean, there might be something here for you.

Highlight:

Slim pickings overall for my personal wants, so I'll go with the only decent insert in the 20 cards.

The rest
Keepers:

Yeah - just the one, and a Canadien at that.

Traders:

The Pro Set card is the French version - given the lack of O Pee Chee baseball (and even to some extent hockey) I am a bit surprised that there have been a number of French Pro Set cards. Otherwise a couple regular sets we see with dupes from 2007-08 SP Authentic and 2007-08 Upper Deck.
